I was thrilled to have an opportunity to post a recipe from Angela Liddon’s The Oh She Glows Cookbook AND be able to give a copy away to one lucky reader! I’ve been glued to this cookbook since I received it because not only is it full of beautiful photographs (about every recipe has a pic), but the recipes look downright delicious. Like Liddon, I had some unhealthy eating (or should I say, not eating) habits before I went vegan. I can truly say that a vegan diet saved my life. This is a great cookbook to have in your collection because it is full of tasty, healthy recipes that use only whole, minimally-processed ingredients. If you’ve been a fan of the Oh She Glows website, you’re going to love this cookbook with 75 brand-spankin’ new recipes, plus 25 updated reader favorites. So if you want to win this beautiful cookbook, leave a comment; it’s that easy! You have until midnight (PST) on Sunday, April 6. I’ll announce the winner on Monday, April 7th.
You’ll love Liddon’s Empowered Noodle Bowl, two ways: Thai Peanut & Orange-Maple Miso on page 153. I decided to make both dressings and honestly, I can’t tell you which one is my favorite; they’re both delicious. The Thai Peanut is thicker with some garlic kick, whereas the Orange-Maple Miso is a tad thinner and milder. They’re both easy enough to make, so why not do both? This is a fantastic lunch or light dinner, that comes together rather quickly. I like how the veggies take precedence over the noodles—it’s not a heavy pasta dish, but rather, a bowl of fresh veggies with some noodles thrown in and coated with a tasty dressing. A winner for sure.
Serves 4
INGREDIENTS
Thai Peanut Sauce
1 large garlic clove
2 Tbs toasted sesame oil
3 Tbs natural smooth peanut butter
2 tsp grated fresh ginger
3 Tbs fresh lime juice
2 Tbs + 1 tsp low-sodium tamari
1-2 tsp granulated sugar
Orange-Maple Miso Dressing
3 Tbs light miso
2 Tbs rice vinegar
1 Tbs toasted sesame oil
1 Tbs tahini
1/4 C fresh orange juice
1 Tbs water
1 tsp maple syrup
Salad
4 oz gluten-free soba noodles
Extra virgin olive oil, for the noodles
16 oz bag frozen shelled edamame, thawed
1 red bell pepper, diced
1/2 English cucumber, diced
1 carrot, julienned
4 green onions, chopped
1/4 C cilantro, chopped
Sesame seeds, for serving
DIRECTIONS
To make the Thai Peanut sauce, combine all of the ingredients in a food processor and blend until completely smooth. Do the same for the Orange-Maple Miso Dressing.
Cook the noodles according to instructions on the package (5-9 minutes). Drain, rinse under cold water and transfer to a large bowl. Drizzle with a little of the olive oil, then toss with the veggies and dressing of your choice. Top individual servings with sesame seeds and enjoy! If you like the looks of this recipe, you’re going to want this cookbook, so leave a comment and you just may get it! Good luck!

New to Vegan eating. Can not wait to Win this book for my health.
Love Soba noodles!!!! I have been in such a cooking rut lately…I know a new cookbook would help get me out of said rut, and hopefully, help me to “glow” as well! Thanks for the chance to win!
Welcome back! The photos look amazing, and no doubt the book is too. Will be making the recipe this weekend for sure. Most likely subbing another nut butter due to a long time feud with peanuts. 🙂
Oh yes, I should add that the recipe suggests almond butter in place of peanut butter.
One year ago my son came home from his second year in college and asked me if I could help him over the summer with his decision to eat a vegan diet. I searched many a website and found great recipes from Epicurean Vegan and Oh She Glows We all enjoyed and continue to prepare great recipes since his return to college . I would love to have a copy of Oh She Glows Cookbok for more fantastic ideas.

Thanks, Lori! (What a smart son you have! 😉 )
That looks delish! I love her website. I’ve had this on my wish list for a long time. I’d love to win it!
I love her recipes and check her website for recipes as much as I check yours! My family would love to win this cookbook! Thanks for the giveaway!
April, those pictures look great!
Thanks…good lighting and colorful veggies always makes for good pics!
Sometimes it can be hard to think of interesting recipes that will feed both adults and little ones. My two kids are vegan as well and glowing with health, your recipes satisfy all of us. I can’t wait to try this one out as well!
Thank you for the chance to win!
It looks delicious!! and there is a lot of talk around the Oh she glows book! I love her blog and I am very curious about her book.
This salad looks amazing. I think I’d love the Thai Peanut Sauce over it. UMMMM Thank you for the opportunity to win this cookbook.
Seeing this post first thing in the morning will surely test my patience until dinner time when I can try out the recipes. I would love to win the book. Thanks for the giveaway! Hope you’re well rested from your trip.
I am Angela’s biggest fan in Chicago! I have followed her since she dipped her toe into the blogging world! I love her blog – have tried so many of her recipes – vegan overnight oats is my breakfast staple – so, to have this cookbook, I would be delighted beyond belief! Why – if I am her truly biggest fan haven’t I bought it yet?? I can’t afford it – I am recovering from a rare health condition called POTS Syndrome – spend a lot of time in bed and now I am healing with a primarily vegan diet! And I would be grateful to have this book!!!!
Thanks, Kelly. I wish you a speedy recovery! Adopting a plant-based diet is one of the kindest things you can do for your body (and for the animals and the environment), especially when battling a health issue. Best wishes!
I’d love to have a copy of this book. Everything I’ve seen from it looks delicious. Those noodle bowls look divine! I’m doing my best to get away from processed stuff and this one would help. I definitely need to cook more. Thanks for sharing the recipes – will be trying them soon. Your remark about the bowls being more about the bowls being more about veggies with some noodles rather than noodles with some veggies has just struck a chord! The wheels are spinning in my brain right now…
I’ve found some great recipes on Angela’s blog. I have the book in my Amazon cart but let’s see if I win first! Thanks, pal!
Looks delish! I’d love to win this book for more of these amazing recipes.
I just found your website and it is fabulous. Can’t wait to try the recipes. At my age, it’s difficult to make this kind of lifestyle change, but I think I’m going to like it.
Thanks, Rosemary! It’s never too late to make a diet switch. Let me know if I can help out in any way!
Can’t wait to try this! This book is definitely on my wishlist 🙂
This looks AMAZING and I can’t wait to make it! I think I will use the peanut based sauce. I’ve loved everything I’ve tried from the OH SHE GLOWS website, but I do not have the cook book, I hope I win 🙂
I love both OSG and EV! Thanks for the giveaway.
Thank YOU!
This recipe looks delicious and I love the book’s cover photo.
Looks amazing. Already follow Oh She glows on twitter so I know this book will be amazing. I’m also new to veganism so this would be a great way to start my recipe book collection 🙂 xx
